Acts 21:6 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 21:6

And when we had taken our leave one of another
The Alexandrian copy reads, "having prayed, we saluted one another"; with a kiss, as in ( Acts 20:37 ) and so parted:

we took ship;
or went aboard the ship,

and they returned home again;
to their own houses, as the Syriac version renders it; for by "their own", as it is in the Greek text, cannot be meant their families, their wives, and children, for these were along with them, but their habitations; see ( John 16:32 ) ( 19:27 ) .

Acts 21:6 In-Context

4 And when we found disciples, we dwelled there seven days; which said by Spirit to Paul, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

5 And when the days were filled [And the days fulfilled], we went forth, and all men with wives and children led forth us [till] without the city; and we kneeled in the sea brink, and we prayed.

6 And when we had made farewell together, we went up into the ship; and they turned again into their own places [soothly they turned again into their own things].

7 And when the ship sailing was filled from Tyre, we came down to Ptolemais, and when we had greeted well the brethren [and the brethren greeted well], we dwelled one day at them.

8 And another day we went forth, and came to Caesarea. And we entered into the house of Philip evangelist, that was one of the seven, and dwelled at him.
